OCZ and PC Power & Cooling Join Forces to Revolutionize Power Management



    OCZ (LSE:OCZ) today announced immediate plans to bring PC Power &
    Cooling into the OCZ Technology Group. As a worldwide leader in high
    performance computer hardware, OCZ acquired PC Power & Cooling to
    utilize their keen expertise in power management and take the
    organization to the next level. This compelling partnership between
    the two like-minded companies will create a powerful fusion of
    patented technologies, innovative, high quality PC components, and
    improved accessibility of premium solutions for customers worldwide.
    All parties, including the consumer, will benefit from the
    acquisition; the combined company is now situated to deliver
    ground-breaking power solutions to meet the growing demand for
    efficient, high performance components to power the computing needs of
    gaming, enthusiast, and mission-critical systems builders alike.

    With OCZ and PC Power & Cooling joining forces, the result is a
    solid partnership aimed at delivering superior solutions to end-users.
    Combining technical strengths, R&D resources, and complementary
    proficiencies, the new OCZ Technology Group intends to go above and
    beyond consumer expectations in quality, service, and hi-tech
    leadership. As the time-honored frontrunner in best-in-class power
    solutions, only PC Power & Cooling can redefine and develop the
    market's standards of performance, as it has done for the past
    twenty-two years since its inception in 1985. Previously, PC Power &
    Cooling solutions were only available to US customers through their
    online store and a few select resellers and retail outlets. Under the
    OCZ Technology Group, PC Power & Cooling products will gain the
    exposure of the established OCZ global channel, maximizing the
    availability of the reputable line to customers everywhere.

    All OCZ and PC Power & Cooling product lines will benefit from the
    new collaboration efforts. Moving forward, PC Power & Cooling's
    complete line of power supplies will become the premium-grade PSU
    collection from OCZ, and will continue to be branded under the PC
    Power & Cooling brand. In addition to combining current product lines,
    the focus of OCZ and PC Power & Cooling is to take innovation and
    industry leadership to new heights. As the founder and CEO of PCP&C,
    Doug Dodson, moves into the position of Chief Technology Officer at
    OCZ, the integration of his expertise will set new standards for OCZ
    product development and innovation. OCZ's popular high performance
    memory modules, PSUs, and flash memory will continue to evolve ahead
    of the times and stay attuned to the needs of the industry. The
    outcome is a greatly differentiated range of OCZ and PCP&C solutions
    available worldwide that addresses the complete spectrum of
    applications.

    "OCZ and PC Power & Cooling are both technology leaders that share
    a common passion for delivering premium solutions to consumers," said
    Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology Group. "By bringing these two
    established companies together we are able to leverage the strengths
    of each organization and accelerate the development of cutting edge
    products for a variety of markets. We believe that collectively OCZ
    and PC Power & Cooling will build on our combined heritage to
    revolutionize high end computing."

    "As an expansion partner, I believe we have found in OCZ the ideal
    fit for the culture and approach of PC Power & Cooling," said Doug
    Dodson, founder and CEO of PCP&C. "In my new role as Chief Technology
    Officer, I will focus on maintaining PC Power's lead in proven ultra
    high-performance with the Turbo-Cool line, and in value and quiet
    computing with the Silencer line, as well as provide guidance for the
    continuing improvement of OCZ's power management solutions. I am
    excited about the improved accessibility of PC Power & Cooling
    products and I am confident that our rich tradition of reliability and
    innovation will continue to strengthen as a part of the OCZ Technology
    Group."

    Building on a shared understanding and mutual enthusiasm for
    leading-edge computer technology, OCZ and PC Power & Cooling will
    seamlessly unify to represent the pinnacle of performance. Look for
